Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period February 10, 2021, through July 31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average dumping
Exporter/producer margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interpipe Ukraine LLC/LJSC Interpipe Niznedneprovsky 4.99
Tube Rolling Plant/LLC Interpipe Niko Tube/Interpipe
Europe S.A............................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Because Commerce made no changes to the Preliminary Results, we
have not modified our preliminary weighted-average dumping margin
calculation. We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final
results of this review. Consequently, there are no calculations to
disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these final results
of review.\6\ We will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rates for the merchandise by dividing the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for all reviewed sales to the importer by the total
entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP
to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Where an
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14,
2012).
\7\ Id., 77 FR 8101, 8102; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate POR entries of subject merchandise which
Interpipe produced and sold but did not know was destined for the
United States, at the all-others rate (i.e., 23.75 percent) \8\ if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 86 FR 47055.
\9\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this
notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Interpipe will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin listed in the table above; (2) for
companies that were previously reviewed or investigated in this
proceeding that are not listed in the table above, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the rate assigned to the company in the most
recently
[[Page 15975]]
completed segment of this proceeding in which the company was examined;
(3) if the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have a company-
specific rate but the producer of the subject merchandise does, then
the cash deposit rate will be the rate assigned to the producer of the
subject merchandise in the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the producer was examined; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-
others rate of 23.75 percent that was established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation in this proceeding.\10\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Order, 84 FR at 47057.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 29, 2024.
